United Community School

Summary:

United Community School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 252 students enrolled. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, from 1107 out of 1505 schools in 2023-2024 to 1028 out of 1490 schools in 2024-2025, its academic performance is mixed compared to state averages.

United Community School has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement. The school's performance on state standardized tests varies, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding the state average, such as 5th-grade science, while others, particularly in mathematics, fall significantly behind. For example, the 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate is only 10.7%, compared to the state average of 58.9%.

With a student-teacher ratio of 10.1 for the 2023-2024 school year, United Community School appears to have a relatively small class size, which could be an asset. However, the school's free/reduced lunch rate is not provided, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing student performance. Overall, the data suggests that United Community School is an underperforming school that could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and maintain a consistent level of academic achievement.
